NessusDB v1.3 Released
NessusDB v1.3 has been released. This release fixes some major ActiveRecord relation issues that seem to have popped up. I have also streamlined some of the command line options and added a config file for keeping track of different assessments. This release also includes 6 new templates, some require authenticated checks to be executed on the host, some do not. I highly recommend anyone using NessusDB upgrade today. Either by gem install nessusdb, gem update nessusdb or if you are pulling directly from the github source git pull.

The next release will focus on stability and testing. Also if anyone has any complex Qualys or NeXpose xml/etc they can share I can add parsers for that data also. Please report any issues that are discovered and I will do my best to fix them in a timely manner.
